Views of the Message.

The comments on the Presidents message
show that it gives very general satisfac-
ton to the Democrats and creates some
alarm among the Republicans. The Re
publicans pretend to think that the Presi.
dent has made mistake in giving so much
attention to the tariff and they ridicule his
tariff arguments. There could be no better
evidence than the way they received the
message that they are afraid that it will
seriously interfere with their scheme.
What is their scheme? AS far as can be
ascertained it is to prevent Mr. Randall and
his few followers from joining heartily
with the Democratic party to effect
a reduction Of the revenues While
they see the necessity for such a re
duction they don't want the Demo-
Gratis to have the credit of effecting it, They
would like to say how the reduction shall be
made, and reap whatever credit there is to
be obtained froL it. They would not mind
seeing the country on the verge Of financial
troubles in order to assert that the only wav
such troubles can be prevented is to put
their party in control of the government.
They understand very well that if the
Democrats in Congress are united, a tariff
reduction bill will be passed, and that it
will have the assistance of a few Republi
can votes in both branches of Congress. II
is not to be wondered at, therefore. that
they are doing what they can to create a
sentiment against the message. What they
say about it, however, will not have much
effect. The people have read it for them
selves, and have doubtless made up their
minds that it is a common sense document
and that its arguments in favor of reducing
the revenues, by cutting down the duties on
imports, are unanswerable.
1t is said that Mr.. Randall is pleased with
the statesmanike and conciliatory tone
which Mr.. Carlisle has displayed in his in
terviews with him regarding the tariff. If
this is the case MIR. Randall may help along.
rather than obstruct tariff legislation. IL
this proves to be correct tariff reduction
bill may be sent to the Senate from tho
House at very early day.

A Secret that Wasn't Kept.

! The measures which were taken this year
| to keep the contents of the Presidents mes
sage secret until the document was read in
Congress, failed TO accomplish that object.
The character of the message was known at
least two days before it was sent to Con
gress. Several New York papers on Mon
day morning stated that it would deal only
with financial matters and the tariff, and
one of them pretended to give an outline of
the Presidents argument in favor of tariff
reduction.
The Tribune, however, tells a rather re
markable story. 1t says that it
was reported in Wall street on Monday
that copies of portions of the
message were being shown about the
street, and that inquiries tended to confirm
the report. The story was that Washing
ton stenographer, to whom a large part of
the message had been dictated in order that
he might make clear copy of that part in
type writing, had made an extra copy for
himself which he sold to a Wall street specu-
lator.
1t is alleged that the Spectator hoped to
CLEAN something from the message that
NOuIN MN III HIS IL lldl
were his object he was doubtless disap-
pointed. The message does not seem to
have influenced the stock or grain market
to any noticeable extent one way or the
other.
The newspapers are always anxious to
get copy of the message before it is made
public, and some of them have succeeded
on several occasions. There is no particular
news in the message, and it is doubtful if
one-tenth of the readers of a newspaper
which publishes it takes the trouble to read
IL at all. But to publish the message before
it is given to the public is regarded as
stroke Of enterprise, and the paper that
succeeds in doing so gets a big advertise
ment
TIL" greatest care is exercised by the Gus
todians of the message to prevent the con-
tents from becoming known until the seal
of secrecy is removed. When the document
is given to the Public Printer that officer
permits only the compositors in whom he
has the most implicit confidence to put it in
type. He keeps it under his eye all the
time and when the needed number of impress
sions is taken the type are distributed and
the original copy returned. 1t is difficult
matter, however, to keep anything a
secret that is intrusted to half dozen or
more people.

A Curious Criminal Case.
From the Chicago Netcs


A remarkable prosecution, growing out of ex-
ceSses against the Jews at the city of Kojeten,
in Moravia, made the Criminal Court of OimutZ
Austria, busy The grown up daughter of one
Phillip krybus, at Kojetein, disappeared on
April "a last Some mischievous persons sug-
gested the Jews might have killed the girl in
order to obtain the blood wanted for moistenng
their Easter cake One Matthias Zapietal, a
notorious crook, told the crowd he had seen two
Jews dragging a girl to their temple on April
"a and when he went past the temple he had
distinctly heard the girl moaning. He also gave
a description of the instrument the Jews used
in sucking blood from the body of their victim
These absurd assertions he boldly repeated under
oatn before tue court. The women, Appolonia
kouril, Anna Kalupka, Maria Kocian, and
Josephine Pospishil, said they had con-
suited the gospel of Saint John, and
performed by the book, that the Jews had cap
tured the girl, that she had been killed at the
house of Leopold Weiskoff, and that her body
had been hid under the temple. One Beran
told how he had seen the body of the murdered
girl. Infatuated by such tales, the populace
the windows and demanded the immediate sur
render of the body of the giHl. The prompt
action of the police brought the latter timely
relief. On the day following, May 4, the body
of Maria Krybus was found in the river Morava
and the doctors declared her death to have been
caused by drowning. no wound or any mark of
violence being found upon the body The
girl having suffered from mental derange-
ment, the doctors ascribed her death to suicide
induced by temporary insanity. In spite of the
clearneSS and positive form of the doctors YER
dict, the populace refused belief in it, and con-
tinued the attacks upon the Jews until Nav z

MR.. CLEvELANp's CITIZENSHIP.
His Name Stricken from the Buffalo
Tax List Because of Non-Residence.
Fl,onl the Nelp York W-oIli.


From the NeD York World.
BUFFALO, Dec 5.-The question Of the Presi-
dents citizenship is firmly settled in the minds
OF Bntfalo's assessors at least 1--WE took Grover
Cleveland's name off the list last April said
Assessor Nicholas Mock to-day, ''after Wilson S.
Bssell had shown us a letter from him. We had
him assessed for 81, 900 worth of personal prop
erty, and he paid his tax in 1885 Last year Mr.
BisSel came before the board and told us that
Mr.. Cleveland was no longer a resident of
Buffalo. Then he produced the letter, which
was dated at the White House and signed Grover
Cleveland. In ii Mr.. Cleveland claimed that he
was not at that time resident of this city, and,
furthermore, never intended to be again.
Are you positive he made that last state
ment?H asked the correspondent.
u am, replied the Assessor. We did not
doubt the word of the President of the United
States and so we took his tax off.
The correspondent went from the Assessors
Office TO the rooms in the Weed block where
Wilson s. BiSsel sits at President Cleveland's
and appeared interested in the matter of Mr..
Cleveland s letter.
II recall the receipt of such a letter." he said
and ! read it to the assessors. Mr. Cleveland
wrote that he was not resident of Buffalo. am
upon that ground he wanted the assessment re-
moved. He said he was improperly assessed, as
he was not resident of the city"

tanned MIR. Cleveland's declaration that he never

respondent.

Mr.. glount and Mr.. Breckenridge.


The personal encounter between Mr..
Blount, of Georgia, and Mr.. Breckenridge,
of Kentucky, during the Democratic caucus
the other day, particulars of which were
printed at the time, is the theme of good
deal o. comment by the papers. The affair
is regretted, but admiration for the manner
in which both gentlemen subsequently
acted is expressed Mr.. Blounts prompt
action in recalling Mr.. Breckenridge
and apologizing, is particularly com
mended, and shows him TO be a man who
has not only the courage to defend himself
when necessary, but the manhood to make
the amende honorable when he sees that he
is in the wrong.
Each of these gentleman has attained
deserved prominence in the national coun-
ellis Mr.. Blount has an experience of four
teen years in Congress, and is one of the
best members of the House, industrious,
careful and honest. AS chairman of the
Committee on Post Offices, he has been an
unconquerable foe to subsidy hunters, who
hang around the Hobbies and infest the gal
leries. His influence in Washington is sec
ond to that of no member of the Georgia
delegation, and he has been placed along
side the strongest men at the capitol. In
his own district he is regarded with great
admiration, and applicants for office desire
no stronger backing than word in their
behalf from him. He adapts himself to his
surroundings, and always seems
to be in the right place His lznack of re-
membering faces and names has no doubt
won him many votes in his election con-
tests, and he is said by his personal friends
to know the Christian name of every white
voter in the Sixth district. It is a fact that
he rarely addresses one of his constituents
as Mr." He is good worker in politics.
For long time he had the opposition of his
home paper, but he never alluded to it, and
his silence after while was the occasion of
standing jokes at the expense of the paper.
Mr.. Breckenridge is quiet, earnest man,
a close student, and was one of the best
members of the last Ways and Means Com
mittee.
One of the humorous outgrowths of the
little affair between those gentlemen is that
the Republicans, who, like Satan, are
always on the alert, are suggesting that a
resolution be introduced providing for
hall in the basement of the Capitol, where
Democratic contests for the Doorkeepership
may hereafter be conducted according to
Marquis of Queensberry rules.

The golden crown that | might have won,
Alas, alas for the might have been!"

When girl trips by the average man on the
street, and the average man turns round to look
at her, the metaphysical man who happens to
notice the act Will probably find one or two rea-
sons for the average mans conduct. He won't
have to consult the average man about it,,
either. He will probably find out by looking at
the girl She is either pretty-and if unusu-
ally pretty the metaphysical man viii be apt to
catch himself looking around, as well as the
average manor she is picturesquely dressed
May be she is both. In that case the average
man is sure TO look around. If the girl is neither
pretty nor attractively dressed, and estill the
average man turns to look, there is something
the matter with the average man or the girl, or
both.
